I was referred to Dr Cohen.by my ophthalmologist for my glaucoma and cataract. I had post shingle nerve pain in that eye and was very concerned about the surgery. My cataract was also quite dense and I was afraid but it turned out very well. Dr. Cohen performed the Ahmed valve surgery first and it was a complete success. I had to call him at home the day after as I had questions, and he was so nice and explained everything to me. In the past I had a doctor chastise me for calling his service on a weekend. Not Dr. Cohen; he is a true professional who cares about his patients. His staff has always been polite, as well. I highly recommend Dr. Cohen for his skill and compassion.

June 7, 2022Dr. Cohen is absolutely an amazing doctor! My dad, who only has sight in one eye, had cataract surgery and Dr. Cohen took great care and had genuine concern for him. I would definitely recommend Dr. Cohen to anyone who is thinking about cataract surgery!

After many years of trying to get my glaucoma under control, I was referred to Dr Cohen and I am so very grateful for that recommendation. Dr. Cohen’s skills and knowledge are not what set him apart from some of the other eye specialists I have seen, it is his passion and commitment to helping his patients save their vision. He is honest, caring and you truly feel the partnership with him as you talk through options, goals and next steps. His staff is equally as caring and you never feel like just a number. That culture flows down from the doctor who respects his staff and in turn, the patient. If you are looking for a team that will be a partner in the care of your eyes, Glaucoma Care Center of New Jersey should be your only call.

Dr Cohen was calm and thorough explaining to me my eye issue. He performed a procedure on both eyes. Everything was exactly as he explained! He spent significant time with me and I really appreciate it! I am very happy

June 7, 2020After reading about Dr. Cohen's history, I was immediately touched about the story of his grandmother losing her site to glaucoma and that he dedicated his life's work to helping others with this disease. I had several successful procedures and am happy to have found a talented doctor with an exceptional bedside manner. He immediately gave me the feeling that he cared and would do whatever necessary to preserve my sight. Although for me it is a quite a trip to get to his office, it is worth every mile. His staff also go out of their way to ensure you are comfortable and have all your questions answered. I feel blessed to have found Dr. Cohen and would recommend him to anyone.

FAQs
Are you looking to learn more about glaucoma or cataracts? Here are answers to some of the questions that patients frequently ask at the Glaucoma & Cataract Center of New Jersey. Content is provided for informational purposes only, and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Glaucoma
What is glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a condition where the nerve that sends images from the eye to the brain is damaged. It is usually caused by high eye pressure and can lead to vision loss. Glaucoma is sometimes referred to as the “silent thief” because it can gradually steal a person’s vision without pain or symptoms.
Fortunately, we can test for glaucoma in our Livingston, NJ office. With regular eye exams, early detection, and proper medical care, you can preserve your sight and prevent vision loss.
Cataracts
What is a cataract?
A cataract is the clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye. Individuals with cataracts complain of blurred or decreased vision.
